and said, "There have been too many sour dishes recently.I'm a little tired of them."
"Alright, Ms.Fordham.What do you prefer? I'll note it down and tell the kitchen."
Olivia observed his expressions carefully.But his mannerisms and movements didn't resemble Ethan at all.
Even if Ethan were the only one who knew her so well, he wouldn't drop everything to stay by her side.
Besides, he was a proud man.He wouldn't be so subservient.
Olivia had observed Logan for a few days but found nothing suspicious.She started to relax and stopped distancing
herself from Logan.

The evening breeze was blowing gently.
Olivia wasn't wearing a hat.

Even if some of the sailors’ gazes fell on her bald head, she could face them calmly.

Logan glanced at her head and asked with concern, "Ms.Fordham, the winds are getting a little chilly.Do you need a
hat?"
"I don't.This is fine."
Olivia patted the seat next to her and said, "Come talk with me."
After observing Logan for a few days, her suspicions were cleared up.So, she was more open with him.

Her emotions had been bottled up, and she was starting to feel depressed.
Logan was considerate.He started the conversation.
"Ms.Fordham, do you know what our next stop is?"
Olivia gazed at the sea, and her mind was blank.
"I've never paid any attention to that."
"Falconer Straits."
Olivia's expression changed.
Even though she had never been here, she had read about the place in books and heard about it on social media
platforms.
It was one of the most notorious places in the world.
It wasn't because of the view but because of its nickname— Devil's Chasm.

"Are there still pirates in the area?"
Olivia asked with a frightened expression.She just wanted to have a smooth trip without any complications.
"The surrounding nations banded up and took down the pirates five years ago.A lot of the pirates’ main forces were
obliterated.
"But these people are like roaches.They come back very quickly."
Olivia felt a chill down her spine when she heard his serious voice.She bit her lip and asked, "Are we in danger?"
Logan looked at her and said slowly, "I won't let anything happen to you."
"You ...Why are you telling me all this?"
Olivia was puzzled.
"I just wanted you to have a clearer understanding of your current situation."
